嫦 娥
云母 屏风 烛影 深, 长河 渐 落 晓星 沉
嫦 娥 应 悔 偷 灵药,碧海 青天 夜 夜 心
李商隐

Moon Goddess
The candlelight is flickering on my stone screen,
The Milky Way is fading, the Morning Star is falling from the sky。
Moon Goddess, are you not sorry you stole our immortal potion,
Over the blue sea and sky — seeing my lonely heart every night.
Li Shangyin, 9th c.
💫NOTE (suggest something different)
For Chánghé, 长河, I used the familiar term Milky Way for better understanding to foreigners whereas the Chinese would use Heavenly River.
